Managed a two-year, highly visible
effort to reverse an IT union representation vote that went 55% for the
union initially. After appealing and securing a new election from the
Public Employee Relations Commission, prevailed in a 93% vote against
union representation.

Served as executive contract negotiator in multiple labor contract negotiations.

There continue to be more collisions now than the same period last year? So what about all this safety nonsense? The facts are clear, things operated better BEFORE the safety campaign started. Trimet's own chart tells the story

Trimet executives, professional liars predicted a $12 million dollar shortage.Well guess what? They had it backwards. (or they just plain lied which is what I believe to be the truth) Trimet has exactly15.9million MORE THAN IT PREDICTED!Where is the media? NO WHERE? And now the tyrant Mcfarlane hits his retirees with more additional expenses. Hard to believe that he can actually get away with this behavior.

Figure it out for yourself using TRIMET'S OWN CHARTS and figures:Actual revenue $466.70 million vs budget $450.8 million

What's interesting about all this is the fact that Trimet set up its system with completely open stations and never did a thing about fare inspections since the light rail opened. The reason for that is TRIMET wanted to brag about its system being 'the highest ridership per capita' in the United States, which they achieved.They also had the 'fare evasion square' which operated for years. Now the Federal funds have dried up the 'rulers' of Trimet have decided its time to make the sheeple pay up using GESTAPO like tactics.
